Welcome to the celebration!
1 n behalf of the American Pharmaceutical Association Academy of Students of Pharmacy (APhA-ASP), I would like to welcome you to the 1999 APhA Annual Meeting & Exhibition and the 30th Anniversary Celebration of APhA-ASP. The APhA Annual Meeting is the largest meeting of pharmacy students, and APhAASP is the oldest and largest pharmacy student organization in the world. We at APhA-ASP are proud not only of our size, but also of our tradition of success. The past year has been a monumental one for us in terms of our status within APhA. In the fall, the members of APhA voted to allow the president of APhA-ASP to serve as a full, voting member of the APhA Board of Trustees. It has also been an important year for us in terms of our programs. As one outstanding example, APhA-ASP this year expanded Operation Immunization, a joint program with the Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA), to include hundreds of pharmacy practitioner-members of the APhA Academy of Pharmacy Practice and Management (APhAAPPM). This collaboration brought immunizations to tens of thousands of patients across the country, resulting in the most successful student-run program to provide and promote pharmaceutical care in the history of the profession. ~ And this year has seen our commitment-and our numherscontinue to grow, as shown by record attendance at this fall's APhA-ASP Midyear Regional Meetings. Pharmacy students have a long history of active involvement in APhA. In the early 1900s, pharmacist members of APhA regarded ~ student participation in the Association as very important. APhA's local branch meetings were frequently held in cities with colleges of pharmacy, and meeting agendas and schedules were planned to maximize both student attendance and participation. In 1921 , Dr. C.B. Jordan envisioned the formation of student

branches within the American Pharmaceutical Association. Dr. Jordan's vision encouraged the students at the University of North Carolina to petition the APhA Council to be recognized as an official APhA branch. The discussion surrounding student branches served as a catalyst for pharmacy students, prompting many pharmacy schools to form their own local APhA branches. In 1954, Linwood F. Tice, another great advocate for student involvement, diligently worked to create a formal section for students within the national structure of APhA. The section provided students the opportunity to send one delegate to the APhA House of Delegates, giving students a voice to express their issues and concerns before the national professional society of pharmacists. Student influence and input continued to grow within the Association, and in 1969 the APhA membership approved new bylaws creating the Student American Pharmaceutical Association (SAPhA). The student representation within APhA has since grown, with the formation of the APhA Academy of Students of Pharmacy, to include 28 delegates in the APhA House of Delegates and representation on the APhA Board of Trustees. The success of our Academy cannot focus on one individual; rather, it is a culmination of years of hard work and dedication by thousands. The APhA leadership and membership have had the foresight to recognize that student participation is essential in preparing the Association and the profession for the future. The current leadership of APhA-ASP would like to thank every pharmacist and pharmacy student who has served the profession of pharmacy by involvement in the APhA Academy of Students of Pharmacy. The progress over the past century has been amazing, and the potential for the next millennium is huge. The responsibility is with each of us to continue to lead the profession.
